I emailed Andy the same thing today.

We also called 3M today and found our distributor. We called the distributor and asked about 4". They said 4" is an "uncommon" non-stock item but they could order it. Minimum order qty = 1 case of 3 rolls, 100m per roll, >$500 per roll, >$1500 for the case of 3 rolls. We asked if they had any 2" in stock that we could "double up". Nope. We asked if there was any other way to get a small (~10 yard) piece of 4" wide. They said they had some 8" wide in stock and could cut it down the middle for us. We asked how much. $250 We asked what other size they had in stock remotely close to 4". They said they had some 3 1/4". We asked how much for a 10 yard long piece of the 3 1/4" would be. ~$75 + shipping. Supposedly it's on its way. Hopefully 3 1/4" wide will be "close enough" for our vision tracking programming team to handle.

Here's where we ordered the 3 1/4": http://www.safetyeffects.com/
